...Life and YWAM share similar motivating ideas and agendas. The two organizations, says Jonathan Bonk, director of the Overseas Ministry Study Center, in New Haven, Conn., are both "quintessential expressions of post-modern Christianity."

Joel Hunter, who resigned as president-elect only weeks after announcing his appointment, cast his departure as a clash between a wheezing organization fixated on the old "below-the-belt" issues of abortion and homosexuality, versus his post-modern view - buttressed by the results of the midterm election - of a more expansive Christian activism that also champions the environment and cares for the poor.
